The Jaguares beat the Sharks comprehensively in Argentina on Friday evening, consolidating their hold on second spot in the SA conference, and with only 6 points splitting them and the Lions, with a game in hand, things could get interesting after the International break. [...]

That was great, Sharks, but…
